Check list for the correct engine installation
The following check list helps to fulfil the Kubota installation directives for diesel
engines.
1. Temperature check
The temperature check is an essential part of the official installation
acceptance. The required preliminary test for the machine manufacturer
is therefore described first.
The following temperatures must be measured under the maximum credible

load and under typical load (two series of measurements). Load on vehicles
through towing and at typical alternation of load. If no appropriate measuring
device is available, please contact the Kubota Installation Service.
Depending on the application, further measuring points may be added or
dropped.
The time interval between the measuring value logging is variable and
depends on the application. As a reference value, 2 minutes may be
appropriate.
The measurement must be continued until all temperatures enter the steady
state condition.
The measuring values must be listed in a table. For this purpose, the form
sheet included in the appendix may be used.
The anti-freeze share and the pressure adjustment of the radiator cap should
be specified in the measuring protocol.
The pressure adjustment must not exceed 1.0 bar.
The anti-freeze share should amount to 50 %.
The thermostat must be blocked in open position.
If a cabin heater is installed the water flow must be closed while the test.
The temperature check must be carried out at an ambient temperature of at

least 5 °C.
Normally, no temperature checks may be executed when it is raining as the
water aspirated by the radiator fan (also pressure fan) cools exceedingly thus
falsifies the result.
5
Temperatures Measuring point
1.1 Ambient temperature in the shadow
1.2 Water temperature upper at the water flange
Formula for determining the maximum permissible water temperature

ATB : Air To Boil
110 °C – measured water temperature + ambient temperature  49 °C
e.g. 110 °C – 80 °C + 20 °C = 50 °C
Basis: measurement at maximum credible load (1st measuring series)
1.3 Water temperature lower at the water pump inlet
Maximum permissible temperature difference: 7 °C between radiator supply line and

return line (upper and lower) related to pure water. In case of 50% antifreeze 8 °C.
Measurement of the lower water temperature only necessary if radiator is provided
by the customer.
6
1.4 Engine oil temperature in the oil pan
Formula for determining the maximum permissible oil temperature

ATO : Air To Oil
120 °C – measured oil temperature + measured ambient temperature  40 °C
e.g. 120 °C – 95 °C + 20 °C = 45 °C
Basis: measurement under typical load (2nd measuring series)
1.5 Exhaust gas temperature at exhaust manifold

(Serves for evaluating the load) outlet
probe position in
additional gasket with
slot
1.6 Temperature under bonnet above the engine
Formula for determining the maximum permissible temperature under the engine
hood
80 °C – measured temperature under bonnet + ambient temperature  49°C
e.g. 80 °C – 45 °C + 20 °C = 55 °C
Basis: measurement under typical load (2nd measuring series)
1.7 Combusting air temperature at air filter inlet
May lie 10 °C above ambient temperature at maximum
1.8 Engine speed depending on specs
(Serves for evaluating the load)
7
1.9 Fuel Temperature
For DI engines (Direct Injection) the Fuel temperature must be measured at the
injection pump inlet.
DI engines need a large volume of overflow fuel for the cooling of the injection
pump. Therefore it is necessary that a certain amount of fuel always remains in the
tank. The fuel temperature check must be performed with this minimum quantity in
the tank.
The fuel temperature may not exceed 60 °C.
Otherwise a fuel cooler must be installed in the overflow pipe.
Due to physical reasons the measured temperature cannot be equal or lower than
the ambient temperature. The test must be performed until the measured fuel
temperature is stable.
Formula for determining the maximum permissible fuel temperature.
60 °C – measured fuel temperature + ambient temperature  49°C
Basis: measurement at maximum credible load (1st measuring series)
If not all of the temperatures can be logged, please contact your Kubota Installation
Service.
8
2. Visual inspection
The following items must be checked by the original equipment manufacturer,
ticked off  and sent to your Kubota Installation Service before the installation
acceptance.
The ticking off of all items right from the desk is not appropriate. Please inspect the
machine and convince yourself that the confirmation is correct.
2.1 Cooling system
2.1.1 Radiator
2.1.1.1 Air intake cross section  At least as large as the area covered by the
fan
(preferably item 1.2 ATB  49 °C)
2.1.1.2 Air outlet cross section  At least twice as large as the area covered by
the fan
(preferably item 1.2 ATB  49 °C)
2.1.1.3 Dust seal  If increased fibrous dirt contamination must be

expected, appropriate protective measures
must be taken (e.g. protective grid). In this
case, radiators with louver type fins are
principally unsuitable.
2.1.1.4 Vibration protection  In case of rigid engine mount, the radiator

may directly be installed to the engine using
the provided rubber buffers and radiator
holders.
In case of elastic engine mount, the radiator
must be de-coupled and be fixed to the
machine chassis.
2.1.1.5 Replacing the V-belt  It must be possible to easily replace the

radiator V-belt.
2.1.1.6 Tensioning the V-belt  For tensioning the V-belt, the screw at the
upper and lower eye of the generator must be
accessible.
If the lower screw is not accessible and the
generator must still be turned for tensioning
the belt, the lower screw may become loose.
Through the engine vibrations, the support for
the generator may be damaged.
2.1.1.7 Checking the contamination  It must be possible for the operator to

degree check by visual inspection whether the
radiator is contaminated.
9
2.1.1.8 Pressure adjustment radiator  The maximum permissible pressure amounts
cap to 1.0 bar.
Kubota standard is 0.9 bar.
2.1.1.9 Short-circuit air flow  Around the radiator, an appropriate bulkhead

must be installed so that no short-circuit air
flow may occur. (Hot exhaust cooling air will
be re-aspirated by the radiator.)
The failure to do so is the most frequent cause
for an excessive water temperature for the
prototype machine.
2.1.1.10 Distance fan tip - radiator shroud  As small as possible for a good efficiency, but
no less than 10 mm for risk of contact.
A critical factor is the start and stop phase of
the engine (depending on hardness and
distance of the engine rubber mounts).
10
2.1.1.11 Distance fan – radiator  When using suction type fans, approx. 2/3 of
the depth of the radiator must protrude in the
shroud. When using pusher type fans, approx.
half of the depth of the radiator must protrude
in the shroud.
The larger the distance between radiator grille

and radiator, the better the air flows through
the corners of the radiator (better cooling
values).
2.1.1.12 Radiator support  In case of machine vibrations or when starting

or stopping the engine, the fan must not
contact the radiator. (Wrong design of the
engine mount or the radiator support)
   In case of the machine is driving on a bumpy

ground the fan must not contact the radiator.
11
2.1.2 Coolant
2.1.2.1 Filling the cooling system  The radiator cap must be accessible without
tools.
2.1.2.2 Ventilation  The complete automatic bleeding of the

cooling system must be granted already when
filling the cooling circuit. If deviations from the
standard water flow exist, please contact your
Kubota Installation Service.
2.1.2.3 Checking the coolant level at  It must be possible to read the coolant level
the radiator from the freely accessible coolant filler neck.
2.1.2.4 Water outlet  A coolant outlet port for the complete draining
of the cooling system must be provided.
2.1.2.5 Anti-freeze  50 % according to the Kubota

recommendation.
Higher anti-freeze shares may lead to damage
through overheating due to the lower specific
heat capacity of anti-freeze agent.
2.1.3 Reserve tank  A reserve tank has always to be installed.

The percentage values are only a pre-
evaluation .
The real volumes must be confirmed by the
hot shut down test.
12
Description of Hot Shut Down Test:
- Antifreeze only 5%
- cover the radiator with carton
- warm-up the engine to 115°C (depending
on the radiator cap pressure setting)
- stop the engine
- watch the overboiling volumina inside the
reserve tank
The reserve tank must be large enough to
catch all steam and water.
The tank should be mounted below the
radiator cap. Otherwise it would become
empty if the cap is opened.
The reserve tank must be sun light resistant.
If you intend to omit the reserve tank please
contact your Kubota Installation Service.
2.1.4 Pressurized reserve tank  If the radiator is installed below the water
flange, a pressurized water reservoir must be
provided. The reservoir must be installed
above the water flange. The supply lines to
the reservoir must be installed with steadily
ascending slope. Even if the engine is
installed at an angle, it must be granted that
the coolant level in the reservoir always lies
above the water flange.
Coolant volume:
20 % of the entire coolant volume
Expansion volume (part of the empty

reservoir):
5 % of the total coolant volume
13
2.1.5 Heater  Inlet flow from water flange
 Return flow in the suction line of the water

pump
Attention: The heater must not be connected

to the bypass hose between thermostat
housing and water pump!
14
2.2 Lubricating system
2.2.1 Oil filling  The oil filler nozzle must be accessible without
tools.
2.2.2 Oil level check  The dipstick must be accessible without tools.
2.2.3 Oil drain plug  The oil drain plug must be accessible.
2.2.4 Oil filter  The oil filter must be accessible.

Sufficient space for replacing the filter must be
provided.
2.2.5 Remote oil filter  If a remote oil filter is used the position shall
be at the same height like the crankshaft.
 It is recommended to install the cartridge

hanging.
 The oil pressure must be checked with the oil

filter at the original position and with the
remote oil filter.
The values have to be reported to your
Kubota Installation Service for confirmation.
2.2.6 Oil quality  Only engine oil of API-CD quality or higher

may be used. The viscosity must be matched
to the outside temperature.
(See also Operator's Manual)
2.2.7 Oil quality for E3B engines  e.g. V3800-DI-T-E3B-EU-Z4 instead of

V3800-DI-T-E2B-EU-Z4
E3B engines meet EPA Tier 4 emission
regulations.
EGR : Exhaust Gas Recirculation
The CJ-4 engine oil is intended for DPF

(Diesel Particulate Filter) type engines, and
cannot be used on E3 specification engines.
15
2.3 Fuel system
2.3.1 Fuel quality  Only commercially available diesel fuel
DIN EN 590 (see also Operator's Manual).
Alternative fuels only after prior agreements
with Kubota.
2.3.2 Fuel filter  Only use original Kubota fuel filters. In all
other cases, please contact your Kubota
Installation Service.
2.3.3 Pre-filter/Water separator  A sufficient Pre-filter/Water separator has to

be installed.
The mesh size has to be 15 µm or more fine.
2.3.4 Air bleeding  If the tank has been run empty unvoluntarily, it
must be possible to bleed the fuel system
including the fuel filter after filling up just a
small fuel quantity from a spare can. No
auxiliary means (as for instance compressed
air in the tank) must be necessary.
If the starter keeps being actuated too long by

the machine operator due to insufficient
bleeding capacity, damage to the starter must
be expected.
Cycle for actuating the starter: (reference
value)
starting 10 sec - pause 10 sec -> repeat
process.
2.3.5 Fuel hoses  The fuel hoses must be installed in a way to

eliminate the risk of damage due to hot
components.
   Fuel hoses and connections must be of

appropriate quality.
   In particular pipes with galvanic or zinc

coating must be avoided due to the risk of zinc
soap creation, which will clog the injection
system.
16
 In case of engines with automatic fuel
breather (usually e.g. Super Mini and Super
05), the return line must be installed in a U-
type up to under the lowest possible fuel level
in the tank if the tank lies below the injection
pump. After a prolonged standstill, the start-up
will be difficult as the fuel lines will have been
drained. Return line to be connected at the
upper part of the tank. This prevents the
engine from sucking unfiltered fuel by the
return line if the fuel filter of the engine is
clogged.
This may lead to untrue running of the engine
and/or reduced engine output.
The troubleshooting of this hidden defect is
difficult and expensive (e.g. replacement of
the injection pump).
2.3.6 Fuel pump  A filter must be installed in front of the fuel

pump in order to protect the fuel pump.
17
2.3.7 Fuel tank  The fuel tank capacity should at least be
dimensioned for the work output of one day.
 The fuel tank filler neck must be provided with

a strainer filter.
 The fuel tank filler neck must be provided with

a DIESEL sticker.
 Machines which shall be exported to the North

American EPA related market and are
equipped with Tier 4 or Int. Tier 4 engines
must be provided with a sticker nearby the
filler neck :
LOW SULFUR FUEL OR ULTRA LOW

SULFUR FUEL ONLY
 The fuel tank must be provided with a drain

plug.
2.3.8 Fuel temperature  The temperature of the fuel must not exceed
60°C at any point.
Especially DI engines (Direct Injection) have
to be checked carefully. Please refer to item
1.9
2.3.9 Fuel return line  In the case of DI engines (Direct Injection),

especially V3-engines, the return fuel is
needed for the cooling of the injection pump.
Therefore the flow resistance of the fuel return
line must be as low as possible.
 In order to keep the fuel temperature as low

as possible, the fuel return hose connection to
the tank should be in a diagonal position to
the fuel supply hose connection.
   The inner surface of the fuel tank may not

have a galvanic or zinc coating due to the risk
of zinc soap creation, which will clog the fuel
system.
18
2.4 Air filter
2.4.1 Capacity  The capacity must be matched to the
displacement of the engine.
2.4.1.1 Design Rule of thumb for Kubota engines:

Max. permissible suction vacuum pressure
(including piping) for:
new filter element : 250 mmAq
contaminated filter element : 500 mmAq
Apart from that

new 350 mmAq
V3600
contaminated 635 mmAq
new 400 mmAq
07-Serie
contaminated 635 mmAq
V3600-T new 400 mmAq
V3800-DI-T contaminated 635 mmAq
Otherwise the emission homologation is

invalid.
2.4.2 Disassembly of the filter  Removal must be possible without tools. For
element replacing the filter cartridge, sufficient space
must be provided. In case of machines with
heavy dust ratio, we recommend a second
safety cartridge and a vacuum indicator.
2.4.3 Penetration of water/rain,  Aspiration must be impossible. The suction

dirt, hot air from the engine air temperature may lie 10 °C above the
compartment or from the environmental temperature at maximum.
cooling system, exhaust  Especially the possibility of a water hammer
gases, etc. must be avoided.
2.4.4 Installation position  Most Kubota air filters carry an arrow pointing
upwards determining the installation position.
At any rate, however, the air filter must be
installed in a way that no dust may fall into the
suction pipe when replacing the cartridge.
Inclined installation is a preventive measure.
2.4.5 Vibration protection  In case of rigid engine mount, the air filter may
directly be fixed to the engine.
In case of elastic engine mount, the air filter
must be de-coupled and fixed to the machine
chassis.
19
2.4.6 Clean air hose  For the connecting line between air filter and
engine, suitable hoses must be used
exclusively.
Selection criteria
 UV resistant
 vibration resistant
 fuel resistant
 temperature resistant up to 120 °C
 dimensionally stable up to –1000 mm Aq
 smooth internal surfaces in particular at the
ends
 Steel pipes must be stainless or internally

galvanized. The transitions must be
connected using suited flexible hoses.
20
2.5 Exhaust system
2.5.1 Vibration protection  In case of rigid engine mount, the muffler may
directly be fixed to the engine. In case of
elastic engine mount, the exhaust system
must be de-coupled and be fixed to the
machine chassis, or the muffler may be fixed
using socket pipes when installing the muffler,
e.g. along the engine feet.
Otherwise, there is the risk of the exhaust

manifolds or the stud bolts of the exhaust
manifold breaking if the mufflers are rigidly
screwed to the exhaust manifolds.
2.5.2 Exhaust back-pressure  The exhaust back-pressure is measured at full

load and at full speed between the exhaust
manifold or turbo charger and muffler.
If possible, the measuring point should lie
inside a straight pipe section. If the
measurement must be made inside a pipe
bend, the measuring point should lie close to
the neutral fibre.
Measuring hole as small as possible
(max. 1,5 mm).
Max. permissible value

SM-Series 9,3 kPa
05-Series
10,7 kPa
03M-Series
V36-Series 12,0 kPa
BG-Series 7,1 kPa
Some engines with external Exhaust Gas

Recirculation (EGR) need a minimum Back
Pressure.
Otherwise the emission homologation is

invalid.
Please see next page for further descriptions.
21
e.g. measurement with U-pipe manometer
2.5.3 Exhaust outlet port  The exhaust outlet port must be selected
in a way that the exhaust gas may not be
aspirated either by the fan or by the air
filter.
 In the same way, exhaust gases must be kept

away from the area of the machine operator.
 Water/rain may not penetrate into the exhaust

outlet port.
Attention ! Water hammer.
2.5.4 Temperature sensitive parts  Must be kept away from the exhaust gas
system.
22
2.6 Engine electrical system

V3 series
applies:
min 400 A to 500 A
to DIN/ISO
2.6.1.3 Assist-starting  The terminals of the battery should be

accessible for assist-starting using a jumper
cable.
2.6.1.4 Inspection/service  If no maintenance-free batteries are used, it

must be possible to check the electrolyte level
and refill electrolyte without the necessity to
disassemble the battery.
2.6.1.5 Battery terminals  The terminals of the battery must be designed

in different ways in order to exclude any mix-
up of the connecting ports. If the battery is
connected the wrong way around, the diodes
of the generator are destroyed immediately.
 The positive terminal should be provided with

an insulating boot.
2.6.1.6 Ambient temperature  The ambient temperature around the battery

must not exceed 60 °C.
24
2.6.2 Cable sections
2.6.2.1 Cable section terminal 50  Minimum 2.5 sqmm

Maximum voltage drop 1.5 V between battery
+ and terminal 50 at starter
Cable length: as short as possible
2.6.2.2 Cable section glow plugs  Minimum 3 sqmm

Maximum voltage drop 1.0 V (after 5 sec)
between battery + and glow plug connection
Cable length: as short as possible

energized to stop
pull coil 2.5 sqmm
Cable length: always as short as possible
25
2.6.3 Electrical system in general
2.6.3.1 Fusing  To prevent the cable from catching fire, we

recommend installing a main fuse between
the positive terminal of the battery and
terminal 30 at the key switch.
The capacity of the main fuse depends on the

total power consumption of the machine.
Here, the glow plugs or the intake heater take
an essential share.
To find out the correct fuse capacity, you may
therefore use the table below for the engine
series Super Mini, 05, 03M, 07 and V3.

2.6.3.2 Power consumption  The power consumption of all permanent

consumers including reserve for charging the
battery must not exceed the generator power.
26
2.6.3.3 Starter capacity  If high parasitic load is to be expected due to
flanged-on hydraulic pumps or for other
reasons, the starting characteristics of the
engine should also be checked at low
temperatures.
Recommendation: -15 °C for Central Europe
2.6.3.4 Safety switch for starter  If a circuit breaker is switched in series in the
(e.g. with the engine bonnet electric circuit of terminal 50 (ignition key ->
open or driver's seat, etc.) starter) for safety reasons, the permissible
constant current of the switch must amount to
at least 8.5 A (referred to 1.4 kW, 2.0 kW and
2.5 kW 12 V starters).
2.6.3.5 Voltage drop at starter  Measurement only after failed cold start
test.
The voltage drop between the + terminal of
the battery and the + terminal of the starter
must not exceed 0.2 V/100 A starter current.
The voltage drop in the return line from the
starter flange to the - terminal of the battery
must also amount to a maximum of
0.2 V/100 V starter current (referred to 12 V
and 24 V electrical system voltage).
2.6.3.6 Starter cable  As short as possible.

Sections:
Engine series Starter output Section

Super Mini 1.4 kW 40 sqmm
05 series 1.4 kW 40 sqmm
03 series 1.4 kW 40 sqmm
03-M series 2.0 kW 50 sqmm
07 series 2.5 – 3.0 kW 60 sqmm
V3 series 2.5 kW 60 sqmm
Referred to 12 V electrical system voltage.
Preferably item 2.6.3.5, as it depends on

cable length.
27
2.6.3.7 Battery ground cable  As short as possible.
Where possible, directly connected between
battery and starter fixing screw.
In case of rubber engine mount, a second
ground cable must be laid from engine to
(paint-free) chassis.
The section of the ground straps should at
least correspond to the section of the positive
line (preferably item 2.6.3.5).
Under no circumstances may (ground) current
flow over the crankshaft and the crankshaft
bearing.
2.6.3.8 Glow plugs  Not only during the pre-glowing process, but
also during the starting process, the glow
plugs must be supplied with power.
For this purpose, terminal 17 and 19 are
bridged in case of conventional ignition locks.
2.6.3.9 Leakage current  The electrical system of the machine must be

checked for leakage currents. A leakage
current of 0.4 mA via the diodes of the
alternator is normal.
Measurement: ignition switch to "Stop" (all

consumers OFF) - disconnect one battery
cable - measure between disconnected cable
and free battery terminal with multi-meter
(measuring range mA).
2.6.3.10 Protection from vibrations  Ensure the appropriate fixing of cables and
plugs.
2.6.3.11 Protection from water  All plugs and electrical components must be
protected from direct contact with water.
2.6.3.12 Key switch  The key switch, in particular, must be

protected from dirt and water. If the key switch
gets stuck in the start position after starting
the engine due to corrosion or dirt, the starter
is entrained by the engine and gets damaged.
Only use high-quality components.
 The breaking capacity of the key switch must

be matched to the individual current strengths.
28
2.6.3.13 Induction voltage  If further inductive consumers are connected
to the electrical system - with the exception of
the original Kubota components - the electrical
system must be checked for surge voltages. If
surge voltages of more than 100 volts occur, a
surge killer diode must be provided.
As induction voltages may vary largely at the

same component, it is recommended to use a
quenching diode at any rate even if lower
values are measured.
2.7 Power transmission (Power Take Off system , PTO)

2.7.1 Power transmission  No construction errors (as e.g. belt drive for
crankshaft elastic rubber engine mount)
2.7.2 Power take off at Side PTO  Check for maximum permissible torque.
(Contact your Kubota Installation Service)
29
2.7.3 Belt drive  When using a belt drive, the data must be
calculated by Kubota.
This requires the following information.
- Pulley diameter engine side

- Pulley diameter machine side
- Axle base
- Performance to be transmitted
- Engine speed
- Distance belt centre - fly wheel
(see figures)
2.7.4 Engine Speed Setting  For the correct setting of the low idling speed
by Kubota the parasitic load must be clarified.
Run the sample engine with and without load
(hydraulic pump etc) at low idling speed and
for the sake of completeness also at high
idling speed.
 Report the values to your Kubota Installation

Service.
30
2.8 Diverse
2.8.1 Speed control lever  The actuation of the speed control lever must
not exert excessive forces on the lever. Any
lateral forces must be avoided, as well.
2.8.2 Engine type and engine  Engine type and engine number are worked
number into the engine block with a chisel and should
be easy to read.
Super Mini series: next to the injection pump

05 series : below the exhaust manifold
03 series : next to the injection pump
03-M series : next to the injection pump
07 series : below the intake manifold
V3 series : below the intake manifold
Additionally, engine type and engine number

now to be specified on a sticker label on the
valve cover for new engines. For older
machines which are also cleaned with high-
pressure cleaning devices, however, it is to be
expected that the label comes off. For a later
spare part order, the engine type and name
are of essential importance.
2.8.3 Heat shield  No inflammable materials must be located

above or next to hot engine components. If
this is unavoidable, a heat shield must be
provided.
It must be ensured in particular that the pipe
connections from the exhaust manifold to the
exhaust system are not run too close to the
generator or to the starter. If necessary, install
a heat shield.
2.8.4 Output set screw  The set output of the engine must not be
(Fuel Limiter Screw) changed in any case. The leading of the
output set screw must be undamaged. Any
modification of the set output will lead to the
exclusion of any warranty claims and to the
lapse of the exhaust gas certificates.
2.8.5 Speed set screw  The set speed may only be changed after
prior agreement with Kubota.
For the export to the US, the US directive EPA

is valid. According to this directive, the speed
may only be limited with a stop screw at the
machine side.

The following items shall be checked by the Kubota Installation
Service upon the installation acceptance:
3. Vibration test
3.1 Vibrations In the frame of an installation inspection, the
Kubota Installation Service will carry out a
vibration test for all engine and accessory
components. You will find the vibration
measuring sheet (form sheet) in the appendix.
3.2 Resonance point Over the entire set speed range, the engine
must not enter any condition while the
vibrations turn into resonance. In particular,
this may occur at low idling speeds.
3.3 Engine mount In case of an elastic engine mount in rubber

elements, the following applies:
1. As wide as possible
2. As soft as possible
3. Where possible at the height of the crank
shaft
Of course, a compromise may be obtained in

all points.
The width is limited by the structural

dimensions.
The engine mount may not be too soft for the

engine not to deflect excessively in case of
machine vibrations and during the start and
stop phase of the engine. Especially the fan
may contact the radiator shroud or the radiator
itself in case of excessive deflections.
4. Cold start test In special cases, a cold start test becomes

necessary.
Particularly in case of de-clutching hydraulic
variable displacement pumps, high drag
torques (parasitic load) must be expected
during the starting process. Usually, the cold
start test is based on a test temperature of
-15 °C for the machine operation in Central
and Western Europe.
If necessary, please contact your Kubota

5. Notes
5.1 World-wide service Kubota offers their customers a world-wide
service comprising warranty handling, spare
part supply and technical support.
The world-wide service is handled by the
Kubota representatives in the various
countries. The prerequisite for registering with
the world-wide service is a successfully
completed installation inspection by Kubota.
5.2 Installation directives This list does not claim to be corrected or

complete. Kubota reserves the right of issuing
additional specifications and
recommendations for an improved installation
at any time.
These installation directives and the

subsequent installation acceptance by Kubota
do not replace the necessary application -
specific permanent tests and field tests for the
early detection and removal of arising
problems - and thus for the prevention of
possible series damage. For this directive, the
liability by Kubota for defects and damage is
not expanded. As to defects and damage the
warranty conditions by Kubota and the legal
regulations apply solely. In particular, this
directive is not linked to any acceptance of
liability claims which may result from the
individual application of the machine and the
co-operation of the machine components with
the engine.
5.3 Delivery times The desired delivery times for the series
engines must be harmonized with the Kubota
engine suppliers.
In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Kubota
